Valentine's Day. Some years you're in the mood for it; other years you want to tackle every enormous stuffed bear in sight. This year on Alt.Latino, we're neither pro- nor anti-, but are definitely having a good time.
If you know and love Latin music, you know our people make a good love song. But if there's one thing Latin music does better than a love song, it's a song about heartbreak. Which is why we decided to dedicate this week's show to great villains of Latin song: heart-breakers, jerks, malditas, soul crushers, the worst of the worst.
We're also excited to have a special guest on this week's show who is the opposite of a villain; in fact, she's one of my personal heroes, Pili Montilla, who hosts her own television show on Latin Alternative music. It's called Te Para Tres, and it's amazing.
Of course, there was no way we could fit every song in this genre into one show, so we're counting on you to add to our list. What other great villains of Latin love should we observe on this day?
